Uncertainties in the Determination of the Upper Mass Limit for Zero-Age Main Sequence Stars. (1987). Revista Mexicana De Astronomía Y Astrofísica, 14(1), 265. https://astronomia.unam.mx/journals/rmxaa/article/view/1987rmxaa..14..265k

Abstract

In a recent investigation Klapp et al. 1987 obtained a critical nass of 440 M@ for the overstability of very massive extreme population I stars at the main sequence. In this work we investigate the dependence of Klapp et al. 1987 results upon the program input physics. We find that stars in the 100 - 500 Me range are marginally stable (or unstable) and that this mass range should be considered as a transition region from stability to overstability of very massive stars.
